To all wliom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN G. ADAMS, a citizen of the United States,residin near Plain City, in the county of Union an State of Ohio, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Dust-Receptacles, of which thefollowing is a s ecification. My invention re ates to dust receptacles,

' and its primary object is to rovide a device quickly vide a device ofthe character stated from which the sweepings may readily andquickl bemoved, which 1s simple, durable and-cf ficient, and which may bemanufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost.

With the above and other objects in,

the invention consists in the construction,

combination and arrangement of parts herelnafter fully described,claimed and illustrated in the accompanying d i g wherein: Figure 1 isapers ective tion therethrough;

Referring to the drawing reference numerals, 2 designates the front,- 2the side and 3 the rear walls of an open e'nded receptacle..

The horizontal portionof'thehopd3 is u orted and bracedby side flanges 3 The 'rontedges of theflanges 3 are-inclined rearwardly and, downwardly to leave {the upperend of the receptacle 'openat its front and sides; It shouldbe thusapparent that the hood 1, isiofsuchconstruction that it will notinterfere with thedirecting of the sweepings intoj the' receptacle,land"that it will de- 7 fleet the streppingstherein,v

Ahorizontally disposed flange 4, which is secured to the upper edges ofthe front'and side walls of the receptacle, is adapted to be let intothe floor to support the receptacle in applied position. A coverf5 ishingedl secured to the horizontal portionfof the ood 3, as at 6, and isadaptedto fully close the entrance to the receptacle.-v arm 7 is securedto and projects laterally from one end ofthe cover 5 and provides meansby which the cover may be swung into opened position. The covermay beswung'into opened position by exerting an upward ressure upon the arm 7by means of the oot. If found 'desirable, however, a chain may beprovided for iraising the cover, and in this 'm'stanceone end of thechain should be secured to the arm and its other end secured at anelevationrtoiada t it to. be readily and qu k y l., sP front an rearwalls. of the receptacle are formed to provide inwardly directed andhorizontally disposed flanges 8,-upon which the closure 9 to'be removedand ap lied, the lower portion of, one of the side wa ls .ofthe Figflof-the drawing,
